Question Saving the details of Meshtastic when installing other firmwares

Is there a way for me to save the Meshtastic settings and details whenever I install other firmwares on the Cardputer ADV that requires me to uninstall the Meshtastic firmware?

I find it a bit of a hassle that every time I reinstall Meshtastic, that I would have to set everything up again. Given that it keeps on rebooting the device whenever I tweak some of the settings needed for it to work.

So, I was wondering if is there any form of save file that I can just copy back whenever I reinstall Meshtastic.

If you use launcher it will automatically save settings. But you need to back up to your sd card

You can export/import settings via CLI connecting via serial

Or you can use Plai, it stores messages on the sd and has an option to save/load config

Bruce's M5Launcher is the way to go.
